As a follow up to our previous 2015 Package Design Award Winners post, we present to you with a collection of some of the silver and bronze winners that we felt made some exceptional designs.

Each year the JPDA, or the Japan Packaging Design Association, recognizes excellence in packaging design by handing out awards in the category. They’ve been hosting the Japan Package Design Awards since 2000. From the 1430 entries for the 2015 awards, a group of judges recognized 414 for awards. Only 11 were given a gold, followed by 12 silver medalists and 11 bronze medalists. Below is a collection of some of the silver and bronze winners that stood out to us.
